What this skill does
Synology — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the synology-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: synology-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails before this CLI has a public-library category, install Node or use the category-specific Go fallback after publish. If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. DSM's WebAPI is namespaced RPC that answers HTTP 200 even when it fails, and its available namespaces differ per NAS depending on which packages are installed. This CLI handles the dialect for you: expired sessions renew themselves, DSM error codes become actionable messages, and 'session apis' tells you what your own NAS actually exposes. Everything is JSON-first, so '--agent' output pipes straight into jq or an agent's context. When Not to Use This CLI Do not activate this CLI to create, modify or delete users, groups, shared folders, NFS permissions or any DSM setting, and do not use it for Container Manager or Download Station. Everything outside File Station is a read surface: inspection, export, sync and analysis. The one exception is the files group, which ships DSM's own File Station operations (mkdir, rename, and the copy, move and delete task commands). Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. Knowing what this NAS actually offers session apis — List every API namespace this particular NAS exposes, with its version range and CGI path. …
